Re: downloading isos
Problem appears to be solved. Found out by using the mouse to get the dropdown box and then typing "c" on the keyboard I could get the url copied.

downloading isos
Hi, It's recommended to use curl to download the isos. It's advised to copy and paste the "very long url". I can't figure out how to get the url copied so I can paste it. Any advice?

Re: system security
Hi, I have them connected with ethernet cards and a hub also. On the fast computers they are netgear cards. Don't have the model right handy. On the 486 it's a generic 16 bit card. That really doesn't seem to make much difference. It does seem that keeping the activity on the computer connected to the internet (I guess gateway box would be correct) may help. It seems that there should be a way to to get full speed with all the boxes but I haven't figured that out yet. I'm no expert, self taught and have more gaps in my knowledge base than anything else. I've got to go to work now. Will check back over lunch hour. Bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less! Join Juno today!

Re: system security
Hi, I've been using Pegasus Direct satellite internet for a few months now. As far as I know it doesn't support linux either. I have 3 computers networked together and receive the satellite transmissions on one with an AMD Athlon 1.4G processor. The others, one similar to the first dual boots to RH7.2 and win98. The 2nd is an old IBM Aptiva 486 boosted to 100. Without any manual configuration they receive and send using the satellite. Only the one with the direct connection to the satellite receiver gets the full speed of the satellite. The others receive at 20K or so. Planned on using the 486 for a firewall, but I can't find a 16 bit network card that is 10/100 only 10. I didn't know whether that would slow things down too much or not so haven't tried to setup the satellite receiver on it yet. All 3 computers dual boot with RH7.2 and win98se.

Re: Hacked again...
Am currently running up2date on a fresh install of RH 7.2. Kept running into the same problem of "authorization required". I was running #up2date -u and all I had to do was hit either the up or down key, I think it is the down key and that would bring up the #up2date -u command and it would run thru the sequence and then begin downloading where it had stopped before. Finally got smart and ran #up2date up2date and then copied the up2date file to up2date.old deleted up2date and copied the up2date.newrpm file to up2date. I used the complete directory with the commands to be sure nothing got screwed up. It's working like a charm and haven't seen anymore "authorization required statements.

up2date ssl_connect error
Hi All, Can't get away from the error message ssl_connect error. Tried to fix it by erasing up2date, up2date-gnome, rhn_register, rhn-register-gnome and popt and replacing them with up2date-2.7.11-7.x.2.i386.rpm, up2date-gnome-2.7-11-7.x.2.i386.rpm, rhn_register-2.7.2-7.x.8.i386.rpm, rhn_register-gnome-2.7.2-7.x.8.i386.rpm and popt-0.8.8-7.x.2.i386.rpm. Same thing. Somebody said to run fsck and I tried to but shouldn't have. It warned me the partition was active and I went ahead anyway and RH 7.2 crashed. So I reinstalled RH 7.2 "everything" and I get the same error. It used to work and I have three other systems that work fine. This computer is homebuilt as are the others and it's got an AMD Athlon 1.4 gig cpu 2 hard drives, one for windoze and one for linux. Any suggestions.

sendmail question
Does the linuxconf mailconf work properly with RH 7.2? The FAQs at sendmail.org say not to use it to edit sendmail.cf with RH 7.1. What is the proper config program for sendmail?

info re videocard
Hi All, Couldn't get the Radeon 7200(?) card installed so traded it in on an Xtasy 6564 nvidia geforce3 card. Couldn't get it installed either. (maybe I was doing something wrong with both of them. Tried to use the Framebuffer but I had grub installed and couldn't figure that out either ( I think now I have). Ended up reinstalling RH 7.2 and the Xtasy card was automagically installed and works perfect as far as I can determine.

How do I get an executable of the Xinstall.sh script? I've downloaded all the files from XFree86.org but the Xinstall.sh downloads as text as does Xinstall.bin. The names are changed to Xinstall.sh.htm and Xinstall.bin.htm. I first fried to install them manually but had problems and figured it was quicker to reinstall RH 7.2 without the X and then install the new 4.2.0 clean.

Re: xbill ?
Hi Leonard, No no error message and all sorts of harddrive space. I am dual booted to win98 and rh7.0 and had reformatted the harddrive, I think a 15 gig one, i2 for each and subdivided the win98 to a c and a D drive so I could back up the win98 on c to d. Seems to work fairlywell for my purposes. I tried not to disturb the original linux partitions but probably did. May not be wise but I usually use just three partitions /boot for aboyt 20-39 megs as the very first partition then paartitions for win98 then a/ partition for everything else except the boot partition. That way I don't have to guess at the size of the various linux partitions and run out of space, or so I thought. Bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

xbill ?
Does anyone know about a file that begins xbill? Don't have the rest of it at this time. Was trying to install RH 7.) yesterday from downloaded discs I have used several times before quite successfully. The install sopped about 80 megs from finishing both times. The last time the file being installed began with "xbill" and the message about content read approximately "program to keep bill from installing os on his computers". I think I was haacked, but don't quite know when or how. It appears to me it must be on the installation disc one, but it would have had to be in the read-write cdrom . This computer didn't have a read-write cdrom. I did happen to have a set of installaation discs for 7.0 that came with a book and was able to install 7.0 easily with them. Any ideas.

Re: /boot partition too big ( 1 MB !!)
Hi Alessandro, Don't see an answer to your message so I'll try. Try making your linux boot partition 16 meg or so as the very first partition on the drive. Then create your windows partition and the linux partition. I t should work that way. It seems that there is a limit over which linux can't go back to install. If you can access the archives there have been several discussions of this by eople much more knowledgeable than I. This worked for me on a 30 gig harddrive though.

Re:urgent LILO failure:former-to recover damaged partition CLARIFICATION
IMPORTANT!! After the new partition is created and the file system is written, exit the Installation Program and your RedHat files should not be disturbed. If you don't exit they will be lost. I've been stuck and have just turned off the computer at that point and everything seemed to be ok. Sorry I didn't say this in the first message. Bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm a novice, but I think if you use your redhat disk and run the install program until it comes to making partitions, it will recognize your win98 partition if you use fdisk. Then you can delete that partition andmake a new partition with a fat flesystem that will be recognized when you use a rescuedisk to reinstall windows 98. Of course if you do it this way all of the data on the old win98 partition will be lost.

Re: ethernet commands
Thanks to everybody. I have 2 amdk62 450 boxes and an old lightning struck aptiva 510 boosted to about 75. On one 450 I have a 12 gig ide with w98 and an eight gig drive with RH 6.1 on it. On the other 450 I have a 30 gig ide with both win98 and RH 6.1 on it. On the aptiva ( which I figure on setting up as a firewall box) there is a 15 gig harddrive with win98 and Rh 6.1 both on it. All of the machines dualboot to linux and win98 and are connected by ethernet in both linux and win98. What I'm trying to do is learn how to setup the networks and firewalls and to use samba. Really I'm trying to learn as much about linux as I can. My programming skills are limited. Just have basic and advanced basic as formal courses and have gone thru the tutorials in microsoft c and symantec c++ a couple of times. I started with linux about a year ago but have no formal training. Took a home study computer repair course a few years ago and ended up building all these computers.

ethernet commands
Where do I find the commands to view files and other computers on my ethernet network? I can ping each of the 3 computers from each computer so I think its just my ignorance.

Re: using ethernet
Thanks for your help. Finally have two boxes at least pinging each other. I don't know how to use the connection yet but it seems its there. Really I'm playing. I'm trying to set up a 3 or 4 box lan in both win98 and rhlinux. Eventually I have an old 486 boosted to 75 with 24 Megs mem and a 15 gig harddrive that I want to set up as a firewall just to see if I can do it. Also I want to set up samba so I can utilize the win98 setups too. That box is an old aptiva 510 that got hit by lightning so it has a few quirks but seems to work fairly well. I do have a question. What do I need to do to get netscape to find my internet connection? I t used to work but now it cant find the connection.
